Located at strategical location proximity to BT road, NH 34 and Kalyani expressway make commute easy and fast from this area. Regular bus service available and nearby panihati railway station ensure convenient transportation. Comparative lower property prices and rental make it attractive options for people like us (middle class). Strong sense of community with many residents from Bengali and other cultural backgrounds. Nearby markets are panihati, sreerampur market, presence of good schools and well maintained medical facilities by panihati State General Hospital. Presence of parks and green area like panihati park and Sahib colony park. Historical significance due to its proximity to the panihati Chhota Rasbari, a famous Iskcon temple.
